Today, I was fired for having a haircut that was 'inappropriate for the workplace'. I have alopecia. My boss told me to stop making up excuses. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I overheard my boss stressing out over finding a replacement for me. I didn't know I was leaving. FML
Today, I almost got fired from work because a customer complained that I "threw up gang signs" at him. I was blocking the sun from my eyes. FML
Today, my company was having a huge party so I went to work dressed in my best outfit. During lunch break, my boss said to me, "You really missed out on something yesterday, it was great fun!" FML
Today, my boss fired me for being "too morally ambiguous". I work at a bagel shop and had told a customer that I was indifferent towards cream cheese. FML
Today, I found out that mishearing my boss and laughing at what I thought he said can make him think I'm high and nearly force me to submit to a drug test. FML
Today, my family took me to a wig store saying I wouldn't feel so insecure about being bald because of my chemo treatments. When I told them I accepted myself and didn't want a wig, they came out and told me THEY couldn't accept it. My own family is embarrassed of me over something I can't control. FML
Today, I took my printer to work because the one in my office is broken. When I tried to leave, my boss stopped me and accused me of stealing it from the office. Nobody would believe me when I explained. Now my boss has a new printer. FML
Today, I went to ask my boss for a raise. Turns out they are firing 35 people. I wasn't on the list until I asked for a raise. FML
Today, my boss admitted that he seriously regrets hiring me, but can't really do anything about it because that would make the senior management question his judgment, making him look bad. So he's just 'putting up' with me. FML
Today, I was at work laminating a large photo. While I was doing this, I had a sudden itch on my nut sack. So I quickly scratched it away. When the customer came to pick up the print, I noticed that one of my pubic hairs had laminated itself on the cheek of the woman in the photograph. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

you need to get some free legal advice, just call any lawyer in the phonebook and ask for a consultation. you are a new client, so the first 30 min is free.

Alopecia is the universe's way of telling you that you should be bald. Shave your head and hope that you don't have a raisin scalp.

If I perchance got alopecia and decided to shave my head as a solution but ended up looking like I'd just come from an Aryan Nations rally is there anyone here who'd be surprised, much less sympathetic if I got fired? Didn't think so. Stop making excuses op and start looking after your appearance.

You make it seem like baldness is unattractive and should be hidden. Some women prefer to be bald. Look at Natalie Portman.

Uh, yes. For all we know, that's exactly what happened here. And there are lots of sympathetic replies, so...

Can't be real. Who would be dumb enough to think it's legal and fire some one over hair loss, and on top of that, who would be dumb enough to believe it is legal.

you can sue the company for that.

Hell, my girlfriend has just come through chemotherapy, and she likes her wig so much better than her old hair, she's thinking about shaving her head even after her own hair grows back. If it's a big issue for you OP, there are always options. Oh, but I agree - your boss is a dick.

I know other people have told you this, but -- SUE. Seriously. Name the company and your boss. At least consult a lawyer (or a few different ones) and figure out your options.
